Field notes
Humid subtropical — defined seasons. Cool winter (December–February, 12–17°C average) is the cleanest working window; spring (March–April) is rapid heating with low humidity; pre-monsoon summer (May–June) is brutally hot (peaks above 45°C, humidity rising); monsoon (July–September) drops temperatures slightly but humidity surges above 70%. Air quality is the structural problem — Lahore consistently ranks among the worst-polluted major cities in the world, with November–February particularly bad due to crop-burning in surrounding Punjab and winter inversions.
